MacRumors reports that a new “song,” created by Samir Mezrahi, has taken the iTunes singles chart by storm. No surprise in that, you might say, but what is surprising is that the song is one big load of nothing, and that’s not just me being rude, it actually is just 10 minutes of total silence!
Entitled “A a a a a Very Good Song,” the track is actually a very clever way of getting over the problem that people have when they connect their iOS device to their car’s USB port, whereby playback always starts automatically, and always in alphabetical order at the top of your iTunes library, so you always have to hear the same song, usually one that starts with an “A,” over and over and over.
Mezrahi’s track gets around this by providing a blissful 9 minutes and 58 seconds of total quiet after you connect your iOS device to your car USB, when you can find the song that you actually want to hear, not just the one that happens to be at the top of the alphabet. The track is free to Apple Music subscribers, and $0.99 to download otherwise.
